A fluid system experiences an inflow of 5 kg/s and an outflow of 3 kg/s. If the initial mass in the system is 20 kg, calculate the mass in the system after 10 seconds using the Reynolds Transport Theorem.
💡 Hint: Use the mass flow rate equation to find the change over time.
Assess how the Reynolds Transport Theorem could be applied to model the flow of a contaminant in a river with multiple inputs and outputs.
💡 Hint: Think of all inflows and outflows impacting the contaminant concentration.
